The Palmer Student Emergency Relief Fund Application

The Palmer Student Emergency Relief Fund is made possible by generous donations from alumni, staff, faculty and friends of Palmer College. The intent of the funding is to support students experiencing financial hardship related to a qualifying event. For the purposes of this program, financial hardship is defined as an immediate and significant financial need related to a qualifying event that can’t be met through existing household resources. Aid distributed through this emergency relief fund are considered grants and are not required to be repaid. Maximum award amounts are capped and determined by the nature of the qualifying event. Availability and size of the award(s) is contingent upon the amount of available monies in the fund, as well as applicants’ meeting the eligibility criteria.

Applications must be made no later than ninety (90) days after the qualifying event and include supporting documentation.

Students will be informed of the decision of their application within ten (10) business days.
